Modify JKU Rubi Rails to fit a JK? Possible?
Subject says it..
Do the two mounting points line up ? Can the longer rails be shortened to fit?

hmmmmmm
Try a search. I seem to remember it being done. The plastic end cap will snap/pop out trim with your choice of tool (sawz all,cut off well, hand saw, what ever). Little black paint. Bolt on. Just a note though, the stock rail are not the greatest protection. Better then nothing. Look around quite a few pics posted showing some of the damage done with them on. Would probably be fine if your not going to beat on your JK to bad.

For the record and for those who follow...
JKU-R rails do indeed bolt right up to a JK.
I searched for a long time and couldn't find a set of JK Rubi Rails.. So I bought a set of JKU rails and cut them to size...
Click the pic for more pics of modding them...
